The reality star -- who has endured 62 surgical procedures in total over the years -- says that due to his fluctuating weight, liposuction isn't an option anymore. Instead, he's opting for the extreme procedure of gastric bypass.

The procedure is normally used to treat morbid obesity and essentially reduces the size of your stomach, making you feel fuller with less food.

In normal circumstances, patients must meet a number of criteria including having a body mass index of 40 or higher, or live with a serious weight-related health problem such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. It is also an option if efforts to lose weight through diet and exercise have been unsuccessful.

Despite being Insta-famous and travelling the world on his quest for perfection, Rodrigo told the publication that his lifestyle has taken a toll on his mental health, and, as a result, he has been over-eating to make himself feel better.

"I have been suffering from anxiety lately which lead me to gain nearly three stone [19 kilograms] in weight and all my outfits are feeling really tight," he said.

Currently, Rodrigo is shooting a documentary about plastic surgery culture in Iran where he has undergone further enhancements, including a total face revamp to the tune of £50,000 ($82,000 AUD).

He also underwent his tenth nose job using cartilage from his ear, despite being told his nose could fall off if he continued with further procedures.

"I hope that by September I will have full use of my nose and be able to start training in the gym and eating right," he said.
